You gave authorized access in the EULA. What we need is real penalties for contracts of adhesion.

IANAL, but contract or not, you find one government/protected computer that is connected to one of these things, and suddenly we're wading into 18 U.S.C. § 1030 territory:

> (5) (A) knowingly causes the transmission of a program, information, code, or command, and as a result of such conduct, intentionally causes damage without authorization, to a protected computer;

A malicious driver that bricks the printer might meet that criteria. The access might be authorized, but the inflicted damage isn't.

So as long as I send a target an email and they don't respond back that they refuse then I can do anything to them that was in that email - same level of "authorised". They probably looked at an email longer if it was actually opened.

Do printers have an End User License Agreement?

The last printer I bought, I was able to setup and print with, without (explicitly) agreeing to any license. Is the EULA part of a software install process?

There's usually a clause somewhere in small print where you agree to some massive EULA on some url through just the act of buying the product.

Many people buy printers in stores, still. Point of sale rules apply there.

If even one person does this, then the parent's comment is valid.

Prove it.
